Ok, but you were getting orders from others who were getting orders from Witness Lee. Some were getting orders from those who were getting orders from those who were getting orders from Witness Lee.

So long as a group leader surrounds himself with enough "yes men" (the kind that say "even if Witness Lee is wrong he is right!" and "we're Witness Lee's company!") then he doesn't have to proclaim that he is the head....he is by de facto the head. This is how Witness Lee was able to proclaim "What church do I have? What church is under my control? Why are all you nasty people calling me controlling?"All the while he was controlling people behind the scenes, sending out spies and having them report back to him, and even publically denouncing people as traitors because they dared to question the One Master Builder.

So even if one was hundreds or thousands of miles away, or even across the oceans on a far away continent.....Lee had full control of almost every aspect of your life. You read his messages, you pray-read the words to his messages and sang songs based upon his messages. You were lead by men trained by him. This is what we called "the church life". Today, the Blended Brothers are simply continuing on as if Lee was still alive. They speak what he spoke. They teach what he taught and practice how he practiced. They handle those who would question or have the slightest difference of opinion the way that Lee handled them - "Shut up or get out!" And the beat goes on....
